Three Sweet Necklaces for Your Valentine
Some people wear their heart on their sleeve. Serious romantics? They wear theirs around their neck. At least I'm betting that will be the case with your Valentine if you give her one of these special necklaces:
1. Sterling Silver Double Fingerprint Thumbprint Heart Necklace by rockmyworldinc on Etsy
Remember those "best friend" necklaces that all the cool girls (read: not me) wore in elementary school? The ones where each "best friend" wore half of the heart? This necklace reminds me of those: It forms a heart using the thumbprints of two special people-a couple, siblings, mother and child, newlyweds, children, whoever. Romantic? Check. Personal? Extremely.
After you purchase the necklace, rockmyworld inc sends along a kit for you to make a mold of the fingerprints you want to use, then you send it back and your fingerprints get cast in sterling silver. They'll even engrave a name on the back. Yours, perhaps?
The necklace costs $99.99. If you want to gift one of these for Valentine's Day, it's time to place your order.
2. Curved Heart Pendant in Sterling Silver with Diamond by michellechangjewelry on Etsy
Who said it takes a big sparkler to prove your love? This dainty, contemporary necklace says everything-with the help of a little diamond. It's a great everyday necklace, as well as the perfect accessory for a bold ensemble that demands something simple. And as someone who doesn't wear heart-shaped jewelry, dare I say: Its shape is subtle and contemporary enough to be the gorgeous exception to that rule.
The necklace sells for $70. If you can't quite foot that bill, check out Michelle's Etsy shop. She has several other less expensive heart-shaped (and non-heart-shaped) beauties.
3. Gold 1-Flower Pendant in Carnelian by Viv & Ingrid
This last necklace is for the sophisticated Valentine, the one who doesn't like to wear hearts and who knows yellow gold is making a comeback. Gold-filled with a hand-wrapped carnelian flower, it's sure to compliment the fall and winter wardrobe of your favorite gal. And with that big, bold splash of red, it's also sure to remind her what Valentine's Day is all about-love and romance, of course.
The necklace sells for $67 and comes in several different colors. Viv & Ingrid also sells matching earrings. From now until February 15, Viv & Ingrid is offering 25 percent off orders over $75. To take advantage of this discount, just enter the code viLove25 when you check out.
Also, if you haven't subscribed to Sweet Finds' RSS feed or newsletter yet, I invite you to do so. For everyone who subscribes to the RSS feed or newsletter between now and February 1, I'm donating 25 cents to the Haiti relief efforts as part of the Help Haiti Blog Challenge. (I originally capped that date at today, January 22, but to maximize Sweet Finds' impact on Haiti, I've decided to extend it.) Thank you!
